Topo of the way we did the upper pitches of R & D after climbing Cocaine Connection. Cocaine Connection is to the right of the bottom part of the photo. The chimney you're aiming for on the first pitches is labeled.

Coming through the slot after the 3rd pitch. Way way fun part
R&D Route - X's represent where we anchored. There are no bolts for belays so these were gear anchors

A view of the first three pitches. Note that climber halfway up the photo on the left is climbing the 5.10 crack variation.
Descent. <br> From the top of R&D, continue to walk straight uphill, you'll pick up a path heading left and down the gully. <br> Can also walk off belay ledge above the R&D chimney pitch which can be useful if bad weather is nigh or upon you.
View from the road. The route finishes at the topmost tree on the left.

R&D route. There is one more crack to climb (easier) after the false summit in the photo. To walk-off, follow cairns off to the back left.
looking up at the crux .10c optional crack climb
Starting our pitch three from just above the flake chimney
Starting up the short steep crack, this is my favorite part of the route

I believe this was out 3rd pitch.
